Tuataras (Sphenodon punctatus and Sphenodon guntheri ) are not dinosaus though, they are a living fossil and were around in their current form around the same time as the dinosaus but are not bird hipped so are not dinosaurs (capesh?).

Tuataras are in danger of extinction as they are now only found on a few isolated islands in new zealand. Sad

mind you this has probably been the state of affairs for several hundred years and they're baring with it at the moment.

everything you might want to know about Tuataras

actuly saurusins do have hips that are vaugely akin to bird hips. to such an extent in fact that some ealy palaeontlologists thought that they may stand on hind legs and use their long necks to reach the tops of some incredibly tall and now extinct species of tree. thankfully someone had the good sence to point out that that was crap, because of weight distribution and there was no evidence of tees ever getting anywhere near that large.

anyway tuataras hips are reptilan and that's what I was getting at Very Happy

That's sauropods, you nutter! Saurischians are 'lizard hipped' dinosaurs!

Actually your both right, cos technically Sauropods (along with Theropods) are both Saurischians, but... I'll shut up now

Thanks for posting all of these chumpanzie. I won't have time to read them for a few days but they really do look fascinating.

Old articles like this are as good as it gets with cryptozoology.

[quote="Anonymous~"]I'm not sure. What I am sure of though is that the director of that movie should be fed to dinosaurs, assuming they ever are cloned. Very Happy
